What to Look For in a Double Pushchair 3 Wheeler
The world's first modular double buggy that grows with your family, converting from single to tandem in seconds and accepting car seats. It also comes with a large basket and tyres that are filled with foam.
Our MFM test participants were impressed by its unique one-handed folding mechanism and the clever mechanism used to attach and remove cocoons that are still in the infant stage. However, they found it wasn't as agile when it came to rough terrain, as some models with larger wheels.
Comfort
A quality triple wheeler pushchair needs to be comfortable for the baby and parent. It should have a comfortable seat and an hood that covers both their heads. There are a variety of colors and fabrics as well as accessories that can be adapted to your personal style. Some models have a lie-flat mode for infants, and the majority of models feature multiple positions that can recline. Some are also light making them easy to carry into the boot, or up and down kerbs.
When shopping for a dual-seater be sure to look for extra features that make the journey more comfortable with soft suspension and an oversized basket. Some models have frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate the second seating position. This lets them pass through narrow doors and are also easier to maneuver on uneven terrain. Some have a sleek, standing fold which takes up less space in storage between uses and some models even include a handy rucksack for transporting the buggy.
Side-by-side buggies tend to be larger than single buggies, but certain models, like the Roma Gemini, manage to be lighter and still feel comfortable enough to be used in cities or at theme parks. They're also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs than some other twin-seaters, thanks to their evenly weight distribution. Many can be used from newborn to around four years old, and a few can be fitted with carrycots or car seats to extend the lifespan of the seat.
The majority of them can be made into a three-child set by adding a buggyboard for older, mobile children (UPPAbaby vist v2 double). It's important to note that although the majority of manufacturers stipulate the maximum weight per seat, and possibly a total frame weight however, it's difficult to determine how much your child will increase in weight until they reach the age of toddlers.
The best way to decide how well an oversized double pushchair will work for you is to test it out in person, so you can be able to see how it's easy to maneuver with both children in the seat. Ask the store if they're able to provide a demonstration or hire agreement to help you get an understanding of a model.
Stability
If you're looking for a double pushchair three wheeler that is able to tackle rough terrain and the high street look no further than the Mountain Buggy Twin Vesta. The side-by-side buggies feature reclined seats that are independently reclined with front and rear suspension, and a comfortable ride over uneven surfaces. It also boasts a spacious shopping basket and easy-to-use two-gate opening bumper, making it ideal for parents who are on the move.
Another great option is the iCandy Geo 3, a sleek and compact city buggy. Its large pneumatic (air-filled) wheels are perfect for tackling bumpier terrain and its front wheel is able to rotate 360 degrees, or be locked so you can navigate it in tight spots. It can also be used to carry twins or a baby and toddler (depending on the combination of seats/carrycots used) and can be used as a single, with a baby carrier attached to its frame, which expands in width.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a super versatile option that can be used to accommodate twins as well as a baby and toddler, or even three children with the addition of running boards.

The clever front wheel can be locked or rotated, and the seat can be reclined into different positions for an expanding toddler or child.
The Out n About Nipper V5 is another model worth considering and so is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 and the Out n About Nipper V5. The former is a favourite among MFM testers for its sleek style and high-quality fabrics. It can be used as a single or a double, from birth to a maximum of 15kg for each child. Its lockable front swivel and foam-filled tyres that never flat are ideal for off-road walking or even jogging when your child is old enough.
The latter is a great pick if you're after an all-terrain vehicle that can withstand long walks and rough terrains, including cobbles dirt tracks, grass, and cobbles. Its large 16-inch rear wheels and lockable swivel frontwheel are particularly impressive and so is its excellent suspension that allows for smooth riding.
Safety
A double pushchair that has 3 wheels will give you more stability than a model with four wheels which makes it safer for those who walk frequently in the countryside. Regular pushchairs with small wheels are prone to getting clogged with sticks, grass, and mud, making them difficult to steer. A double pushchair with 3 wheels has big back wheels which make up the majority of the space. You are less likely to get into anything.
All-terrain pushchairs, like the Roma Gemini, are a excellent choice for anyone living in an area with a lot of rough and bumpy terrain.
